Boutique and Showroom: 180 NW 25th St, Miami; 305.576.7465

Get her something that actually fits via an appointment at Krel, where she can pick out one of their edgy fabrics (streaked or colored, with metallic detail) for a stretchy dress, skirt, or sweater, then have the store custom "tube-fit" it to her body, which is exactly how you two started dating in the first place.

Rella handcrafts “Victorian with a twist” necklaces, ruffs and earrings with ornate details so thoughtful, your lady friend'll actually think you're thoughtful: Swarovski crystal and black agate faceted beads, tiny brass hummingbirds, and looking-glass pendants spying in on everything from cute frisky cats, to pinup girls in bondage, to (if you arrange for it) your own grinning mug -- so during depressingly serious conversations, you can smile up at yourself and say, "Hang in there big fella, it ain't all bad!".

If she's got a sweet tooth, or an alcohol problem, get Sweetcakes to write personalized messages atop cupcakes baked with Baileys, amaretto, Malibu, or Kahlua, then re-doused with the same hooch before being frosted. Be wary of raiding her stash though -- you might be skilled at concealing liqueur-based drunkenness, but the proof is in the frosting.

Satisfy her love of cleanliness and belief in her own individuality with vegetable-based, handmade Naked soaps, all customizable for her skin type, favorite scent (juniper berry, sambuca, citrus with real orange zest...), even preferred exfoliant (oatmeal, lavender buds, jojoba beads). To make an even stronger statement, get custom shapes like hearts, lotus buds, even a bar-of-soap shaped bar!

At 88 times the size of a normal gummy bear and twice as heavy as your average burger, this beast provides cute-smallness on a grand scale and comes in cherry, raspberry, or green apple -- whatever you go with, she'll be tasting the love for weeks.
